INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
elder brother Malvinder Mohan Singh and ex-Religare chief Sunil Godhwani, as desired by his mother.Shivinder had earlier this month filed an
application before the Delhi bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) alleging that collective and ongoing actions of Malvinder and
Mr Godhwani led to a systemic undermining of the interests of the companies and their shareholders.Confirming the move, Shivinder told PTI
:"I have applied to withdraw the petition before NCLT, that is coming up for hearing.""There is a mediation process that has been kicked off
and if it does not work I have the option of refiling it," he added.In his application before NCLT, Shivinder has said: "The mother of
petitioner no 2 (Shivinder) and respondent no 2 (Malvinder) has requested both her sons to engage in mediation led by family elders
respected by both her sons with a view to them settling inter se issues between them."The application further said: "Out of respect for
their mother, the parties have already started mediation and as per the request of the mediators to constructively progress the mediation,
the petitioners wish to withdraw the petition, without prejudice to their rights and contentions."Shivinder's counsel Ranjana R Gawai said
the petition is not withdrawn yet but getting withdrawn because the ailing mother wants to get this matter sorted out within domestic forum
through mediation.Passing an interim order over Shivinder's earlier plea, the principal bench of NCLT on September 6 directed to maintain
status quo over the shareholdings and composition of RHC Holding board.As on August 27, Malvinder and Shivinder were the promoters of
Religare on behalf of PS Trust while RHC Finance and RHC Holding were the promoter groups, according to data available on bourses.The
tribunal had also issued notice to Malvinder along with Godhwani and other respondents over Shivinder's petition alleging "oppression and
mismanagement" of RHC Holding.It had also allowed both parties -- Shivinder Singh and his wife Aditi Singh -- and other party Malvinder
Singh to inspect documents and take photocopies of the records of RHC Holding.
